@@ChrisJones-yu9rz back in high school I managed to start a whole class singing Bohemian Rhapsody once. I forget the question but because of the answer when I was called on I just straight up sang "Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the fandango?" and it just snowballed from there.
@@ChrisJones-yu9rz Bohemian Rhapsody is more difficult to sing along with. But most of the songs in the list are also not easy, some of them I never heard of let alone knowing the lyrics. We are the champions is a good one.
It would’ve been absolutely hilarious if they put that as number one 😂 The best rick roll I’ve ever seen was at a Thanksgiving Day parade in New York City. Some random kids float with Muppet looking things on it stops and they start singing something about a best friend. then Rick himself comes out of nowhere and literally Rick rolls all of New York City and probably the US lol. Edit: the video is still up on RUclips if you wanna watch it lol
I agree with the number 1 pick. I was on holiday in London, one night we were walking passed a pub and Living on a Prayer came on and literally everything stopped and everyone in the pub and on the street started singing along at full volume. People of all races and ages rocking out, it was awesome! It was like time had stood still during that song and as soon as it ended it was like time started again and we all started walking and going about our business. I've never experienced anything like it before or since. Surreal yet amazing experience that I will never forget.
This will sound ridiculous, and a bit wrong, but Total Eclipse of the Heart. I was driving my son home from band practice one night and it came on the radio. We instantly turned it into a duet. Just for context I'm almost 49 and he's barely 19.
Was Gold included as a joke? I've never even heard that song. The only song I know by them is True. How Bohemian Rhapsody, Tainted Love or Take On Me didn't make the honorable mentions before that is odd to me.
Simply the best - Tina Turner Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen You're the voice - John Farhnam Freedom! '90 - George Michael I'm gonna be (500 miles) - The proclaimers Friends in Low places - Garth Brooks
Had me right up until Low Places, which I place very low - not a fan of GB (Troyal - he has never been "royal" to me ... Others in that timeframe, IMHO, were better ... But, hey - that's just me ...
Proud Mary ~ Tina Crazy Little Thing Called Love ~ Queen Last Christmas ~ George Michael Wake Me Up Before You Go Go ~ Wham ~ Queen & Tina had other tunes that I can sing along to As far as C & W ~ Hank Williams tunes ~ "why don't ya love me like you used to do" ~
Might need to do a top 40, not sure even 20 will do! Not going to argue with this list, though. I would add: Y.M.C.A., Yellow Submarine, Piano Man, Take Me Home Country Roads, Take On Me. And I leave you to the unenviable task of picking one Queen song: Bohemian Rhapsody, We Will Rock You, or We Are the Champions. 😮 Good luck with that.
Do Ya Think I'm Sexy or Maggie May by Rod Stewart? "Scaramouche, Scaramouche" would lose me, and I would need to hear "little silhouette of a man" or, be a bit behind on the lyrics.
@@alyceclover Good to see someone remembered Rod Stewart. I was in college when Maggie May came out and every time it came on the radio, I'd stop studying to sing along. Great song by a great singer.
Every time I hear Don’t Stop Believin’ I can’t help but to sing the entire song I won a talent contest for singing it as well got the whole crowd cheering 🎉
I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) by The Proclaimers, for sure - especially here in Scotland! It's a song guaranteed to get us all on our feet over here, especially for the DAH-DAH-DA-DAHHH bits.
Sweet Caroline is the Red Sox Anthem, After the Boston Marathon Bombings, Neil Diamond flew all the way from LA to Boston Spontaneously to perform the song in Fenway Park 🙌🏼
Life Is A Highway was originally sung and also written by Canadian Tom Cochran who use to have a band in the 70’s,80’s called Red Rider. Other songs are Lunatic Fringe, and Big League. Sharen
Random information: Sweet Caroline is wrestler Jon Moxley's go to karaoke song. You can find a video of him singing it here on RUclips, and he's mentioned it in interviews too.
This list could've been filled w/ just 80s songs, especially rock anthems: You Give Love a Bad Name, Pour Some Sugar on Me, Rock You Like a Hurricane, Eye of the Tiger, Sweet Child o' Mine, Juke Box Hero, The Final Countdown, etc...
Beasts of Burden? 1950s had a lot of sing-along songs, as did Motown, the Beatles, 1990s. I do not know about the 2000s. The older I get the less I like new music. It all sounds the same; and Gantsa rap is a far cry from Rapper's Delight.
@@alyceclover "...Gantsa rap is a far cry from Rapper's Delight..." YES!...Say it again, and louder so the people in the back can hear you. In my opinion, the music of the 60's makes the stuff we have today pale in comparison. The rise of Rap has caused otherwise reasonably talented up-and-coming singers to get lazy and that has led to a general downturn in the quality of music.
How about Aretha - RESPECT, Billy Joel- Piano Man, Bryan Adams-Summer of 69, and you have to include Queen and Abba, Take Me Home Country Roads, and if you are looking for songs everyone sings along to you can easily include Take this Job and Shove it, and Dolly Parton - Nine to Five
I have never heard the song Gold and like another comment said True was the only song I remember by that artist. The other songs I agree with just in a different order. I was surprised that Oh Mickey you’re so fine you blow my mind” Girls just want to have fun, Summer Lovin from the movie Grease,I had the time of my life from Dirty Dancing Roseanna by Toto weren’t on the list. Given it’s hard to only pick 10 songs. Definitely need a list for twenty.
Celebration! Kool and the Gang! But I must not be singing along to the same songs as everyone else because I liked the honorable mentions more than I liked the first part of the list
@@alisonh2112 Ladies Night, Johanna have me singing along. Ditto September, but also also Sing A Song and Shinning Star. And what happened to Madonna? Maybe Papa Don't Preach. Cher's Do You Believe in Love?
Def Leppard- Pour Some Sugar On Me, Aersosmith- Walk This Way, Huey Lewis and The News- Heart of Rock 'n Roll., Bob Segars- Old Time Rock 'n' Roll and Joan Jett and te Blackhearts- I Love Rock 'n' Roll
So many songs belong on this list ~ Helen Reddy, Pat Benatar, Blondie, Linda Ronstadt, Motown/Philly, Bob Marley, Beatles, Fats Domino ~ endless list of singalong songs.
Being a teen in the 80's means several of these are always ready to be sung but I disagree with some of the others on this list. Where is Queen? We Will Rock You? Bohemian Rhapsody?
I was at my school when a club began singing at a Valentine's Day assembly. And the last song was Livin On A Prayer. I IMMEDIATELY began singing along, and so did the entire school! Now when i hear the song on my radio I ALWAYS sing the part that the club sang!
Funny story with Livin' on a Prayer. Around the time the newest Rock Band game came out and they had in store demos, me and a friend went to check it out and the guy singing couldn't sing worth a lick and everyone was complaining. So my turn came up and I chose that song. I turned around after and had a crowd gathered and the poor guy looked like, "Damn, she's better than me!" Yet I almost thought "Sexy and I Know It" would've made it too.
That is funny; and I sing along to "Sexy and I Know It" "Do You Think I's Sexy," Rod Stewart. "Love Bizarre," and where is Pince on this list. "Purple Rain," anyone.
I would've given honorable mention to... Margaritaville: Jimmy Buffett (Salt! Salt!) Lean On Me: Bill Withers Bohemian Rhapsody: Queen (Piano and Guitar included)
I don't think I've ever even heard of Gold before....and personally the only songs mentioned that I can't resist belting out are Livin On A Prayer, Don't Stop Believing and Jessie's Girl. a few other songs impossible for me to resist singing along to: Never Gonna Give You Up- Rick Astley The Touch- Stan Bush The Power Of Love- Huey Lewis & the News basically the entire soundtrack to Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Once More With Feeling the DuckTales theme song The Saga Begins ( even if the song playing is American Pie.... ) Running Home To You from the musical episode of The Flash Waiting For A Girl Like You- Foreigner I want To Know What Love Is- Foreigner the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme song Simple & Clean- Utada Hikaru Wanted Dead Or Alive- Bon Jovi Oops...I Did It Again- Britney Spears Searching My Soul- Vonda Shepard Chances Are- Vonda Shepard and Robert Downey Jr the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme song Superman- Goldfinger Holding Out For A Hero- Bonnie Tyler the original Pokemon anime theme song T.U.R.T.L.E. Power- Partners In Kryme Ninja Rap- Vanilla Ice the DK Rap from Donkey Kong 64 Don't You Forget About Me- Simple Minds You're The Inspiration- Chicago Levitating- Dua Lipa Men In Black- Will Smith
While all the song on this list are great, I have to add, walk like an Egyptian, walking on sunshine, dancing queen, bohemian rhapsody, we will rock you, wagon wheel, kungfu fighting, and many others. Honestly I don’t even think a top 50 would be enough
Thing is, Don't Stop Believin' waa the final song played at my wedding reception. Because I AM a small town girl, and my husband IS a city boy. We were singing along, loudly, whilst my Mum looked at us like we were crazy...
MsMojo, you guys should definitely do a Top 20 Songs That Are Impossible to Sing Along To. I have a couple of examples of songs that should be mentioned. Examples: Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody Miley Cyrus - Party in the U.S.A. ABBA - Dancing Queen Whitesnake - Here I Go Again R.E.M. - It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine) The Temptations - My Girl Toto - Africa Village People - Y.M.C.A. Kansas - Carry on My Wayward Son OutKast - Hey Ya Taylor Swift - Shake It Off Survivor - Eye of the Tiger The Beatles - Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up Selena Quintanilla - Bidi Bidi Bom Bom Yakko's Nations of the World (Animaniacs) Kool & the Gang - Celebration
What???!!! No Boston???!!!!! YOU try "More Than A Feeling" at karaoke the next time you go. I'll bet your voice cracks when the song comes to, "She slipped awaaaaay ah hay hay." I can't even do it right EVERY time, but I CAN do it right about 70%!!!!
What about "My Love" by Petula Clark, "Black Water" by The Doobie Brothers, "Delta Dawn" by Helen Reddy, and Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey by Paul McCartney?
Great choices you have there. I'd also throw in Downtown by Petula.Not only do you love singing to it, it puts you in a good mood& leaves a smile on your face!😀😎👍👍
So many good choices, GREAT songs mentioned here, and I love them all (well, most). But for me the hook has to come in the first couple of notes, way before the singing starts so that you're singing with the first line. So for me it would be something like Come On, Eileen or The Devil Went Down to Georgia. You're humming it even before you're singing it.
Nice list. I would include "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbey" from Steam, "Hey Jude" from "The Beatles" and "The Bard's Song (In The Forrest)" from "Blind Guardian" into the Top 20 List. Start the first two songs in a Stadium (American Footbal, Soccer or Basketball) and half of the Stadium will sing it with you. When you start singing the third one during a Heavy Metal Festival and the whole crowd will start to sing it to. Some people claim that, on a silent night on the fields of Wacken, you can still hear the crowd from their Concert in 2016 singing "The Bard's Song".
Gosh, I feel old now! Listening to those songs and seeing the videos made for them reminds me that Im not sweet 16 in 1980 but a Grandma who's turning 60 later this year, but those were the days and the music was amazing! I was also reminded that the hot heart throbs in those videos are men and women in their 60's and 70s, or they're already dead. Balding, fat, and probably broke and on their 3rd marriage. I'll stop now because it's oh so depressing!
You are never "old" - as old is a state of mind ... Never surrender to age at any state/stage - stay engaged & curious with a never ending zest for LIFE ! My state of mind is that of delusion - and my state is FL- as that, for me, really is a "State" of mind ... And when I am 104, I will continue to say I am "getting older - never old" ...
Instead of Staying Aline, you can do CPR to Another One Bites the Dust. When I took the CPR class, the nurse told me never to sing that song again while giving CPR. LOL
I say for the BIGGER LIST; Eye of the tiger ( survivor ), Bohemian Rhapsody ( Queen), We are the champions (Queen), Dead Man's Party ( Oingo Boingo), Sledgehammer ( Peter Gabriel)
Okay, here is a short list: "We Don't Talk About Bruno" - probably the only song where you can pick a part if the song and it works just as well when you blend it all together at the end. "Take on Me" - everyone will try to hit a note in range "Africa" - everyone loves the chorus by Toto "We're Not Gonna Take It" - the anthem of a generation. "Bad Romance" - Everyone joins in when you hear the opening.
Yup. So many songs will get people singing along ~ even ones we do not particularly like. Lou Christie, ":Lightning Strikes Me Again" ~ can not believe I ever liked that song. Piped in music hear it often, do not sing it aloud, but can not stop singing along as lyrics play in my mind.
Major Missing Songs: Europe - Final Countdown Queen - Who wants to live forever Queen - Princes of the Universe Additions for the TOP 5: Queen - We Will Rock You Queen - We Are the Champions
I'm sorry but "Life is a Highway" is a song originally written and sung by Canadian Tom Cochrane in 1991, years before Flatt's version and it's Cochrane's version that charted and is the version people 'sing along to'
eight days a week, Lucy in the sky and Hey Jude are just a few of the Beatles songs that are great sing-a-long songs. That is what made them so popular. But for me personally there are many songs that I love to sing along to: two out of three aint bad, keep on loving you, fox on the run and so on.
It's impossible for me not to sing along with the following songs: 1: nothing's gonna stop us now by starship 2: blank space by Taylor swift & 3: go your own way by Fleetwood Mac By the way, it's not living on a prayer it's squidward on a chair lol
And at the end of the "Call Me, Maybe" video, we learn that the guy may or may not, um... Never mind... Certain parts of SW PA and WV have alternate lyrics for the chorus of "Sweet Caroline" - let's go, Pitt!

Danger Zone
Don't Stop Believin' is also in the national register of music. Was put in in 2022
Dancing Queen
I cannot believe you did not put Bohemian Rhapsody for the love of God….
America by Neil Diamond. Pretty much anything by Neil Diamond
Queen' we are the champions is pretty hard not to sing along with
I’m absolutely shocked they did not put Bohemian Rhapsody.
I sing it every time!
@@ChrisJones-yu9rz back in high school I managed to start a whole class singing Bohemian Rhapsody once. I forget the question but because of the answer when I was called on I just straight up sang "Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the fandango?" and it just snowballed from there.

Gotta have "Never Gonna Give You Up" - Rick Astley on that list. I mean, Rick rolling......
It would’ve been absolutely hilarious if they put that as number one 😂
The best rick roll I’ve ever seen was at a Thanksgiving Day parade in New York City. Some random kids float with Muppet looking things on it stops and they start singing something about a best friend. then Rick himself comes out of nowhere and literally Rick rolls all of New York City and probably the US lol.
Edit: the video is still up on RUclips if you wanna watch it lol
Rick Astley should be the president in the USA, thanks to the " Never gonna give you up" song.
@@ChrisJones-yu9rz Found it! That was awesome! What a legend.
@@ChrisJones-yu9rzyes, i have seen that video.
You haven't been rolled until you've been Rick Rolled.....lol
What about Bohemian Rapsody?
Or We will rock you/we are the Champions?
Or 8675-309?
It goes 8675309999999999999999999999!😂😂😂😂
I can sing along to a few lyrics, but not all.

Life should be lived as though you're in a musical ...
Queen’s We are the Champions, We will Rock You, Another one Bites the Dust.
Killer queen have already get in your eye, is my limit! I will press it now!
My 4 year old grandson sings We will we will rock you. Definitely has the rhythm perfectly!
Killer Queen.Dont stop me now
I would sing along to We Will Rock You or Another One Bites the Dust. Do not know many We Are The Champions lyrics.
Bohemian Rhapsody
This will sound ridiculous, and a bit wrong, but Total Eclipse of the Heart. I was driving my son home from band practice one night and it came on the radio. We instantly turned it into a duet. Just for context I'm almost 49 and he's barely 19.

I completely agree. It’s an earworm.
Don't You (Forget About Me) - Simple Minds
Eye of the Tiger by Survivor desperately needed a spot on this list
I agree
Being a Weird Al fan, I always end up singing "Rye or the Kaiser". 🙂
Yes!
Was Gold included as a joke? I've never even heard that song. The only song I know by them is True. How Bohemian Rhapsody, Tainted Love or Take On Me didn't make the honorable mentions before that is odd to me.
Gold was a much bigger hit in the UK than the US.

Talk about an earworm!
Botswana!
Is this the real life..
If that line is not enough to make you sing then you better start questioning your life decisions.
How that song is not on here is beyond me
You forgot "Your Love" by the Outfield. Once you hear "Jodie's on a vacation," it's hard not to start singing.
This list was practically begging for an entry by ABBA. They wrote some of the catchiest hooks in the history of pop music.

While all the song on this list are great, I have to add, walk like an Egyptian, walking on sunshine, dancing queen, bohemian rhapsody, we will rock you, wagon wheel, kungfu fighting, and many others. Honestly I don’t even think a top 50 would be enough
The original version of Life is a Highway By Tom Cochrane is the best one.
Thing is, Don't Stop Believin' waa the final song played at my wedding reception. Because I AM a small town girl, and my husband IS a city boy. We were singing along, loudly, whilst my Mum looked at us like we were crazy...
Separate Ways for me.
MsMojo, you guys should definitely do a Top 20 Songs That Are Impossible to Sing Along To. I have a couple of examples of songs that should be mentioned.
Examples:
Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
Miley Cyrus - Party in the U.S.A.
ABBA - Dancing Queen
Whitesnake - Here I Go Again
R.E.M. - It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)
The Temptations - My Girl
Toto - Africa
Village People - Y.M.C.A.
Kansas - Carry on My Wayward Son
OutKast - Hey Ya
Taylor Swift - Shake It Off
Survivor - Eye of the Tiger
The Beatles - Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds
Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up
Selena Quintanilla - Bidi Bidi Bom Bom
Yakko's Nations of the World (Animaniacs)
Kool & the Gang - Celebration
I have no problems singing along to several of these
What???!!!
No Boston???!!!!!
YOU try "More Than A Feeling" at karaoke the next time you go.
I'll bet your voice cracks when the song comes to, "She slipped awaaaaay ah hay hay."
I can't even do it right EVERY time, but I CAN do it right about 70%!!!!
What about "My Love" by Petula Clark, "Black Water" by The Doobie Brothers, "Delta Dawn" by Helen Reddy, and Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey by Paul McCartney?
Great choices you have there. I'd also throw in Downtown by Petula.Not only do you love singing to it, it puts you in a good mood& leaves a smile on your face!😀😎👍👍
I'd rather listen to Steve Perry's awesome voice sing anything. My voice, personally would just ruin the moment!😄😁😝
So many good choices, GREAT songs mentioned here, and I love them all (well, most). But for me the hook has to come in the first couple of notes, way before the singing starts so that you're singing with the first line. So for me it would be something like Come On, Eileen or The Devil Went Down to Georgia. You're humming it even before you're singing it.
Let the sunshine. Let the sunshine. Let the sunshine. The sunshine in.
Better known as "Age Of Aquarius."
John Farnham's 'You're The Voice' is an impossible one to not join in to.
I know that song from the version Heart did. Still catchy no matter what!
Nice list. I would include "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbey" from Steam, "Hey Jude" from "The Beatles" and "The Bard's Song (In The Forrest)" from "Blind Guardian" into the Top 20 List. Start the first two songs in a Stadium (American Footbal, Soccer or Basketball) and half of the Stadium will sing it with you. When you start singing the third one during a Heavy Metal Festival and the whole crowd will start to sing it to. Some people claim that, on a silent night on the fields of Wacken, you can still hear the crowd from their Concert in 2016 singing "The Bard's Song".
First two definitely, do not know the third.
Gosh, I feel old now! Listening to those songs and seeing the videos made for them reminds me that Im not sweet 16 in 1980 but a Grandma who's turning 60 later this year, but those were the days and the music was amazing! I was also reminded that the hot heart throbs in those videos are men and women in their 60's and 70s, or they're already dead. Balding, fat, and probably broke and on their 3rd marriage. I'll stop now because it's oh so depressing!
I noticed that most of them were 80's or earlier.
You are never "old" - as old is a state of mind ... Never surrender to age at any state/stage - stay engaged & curious with a never ending zest for LIFE ! My state of mind is that of delusion - and my state is FL- as that, for me, really is a "State" of mind ... And when I am 104, I will continue to say I am "getting older - never old" ...
deffo hey ya by outkast
Like some others have commented, Bohemian Rhapsody (by Queen) is one. Here I Go Again (particularly the '87 version) by Whitesnake is one for me.
Most of this list being from the 90's and earlier speaks volumes about which era of music was the best.
Or who the person is making the list. I would guess that most of today's kids would make a different list.
Party In The U.S.A. never fails to make me dance and sing along at the top of my lungs
Jump by Van Halen
Steve Perry....No auto tune.....................No BS ..JUST PURE TALENT Playing Journey in my car ATM. Perry is the voice of a generation....
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - Teach Your Children.
‘Livin’ On A Prayer’ played near mile 13 of a marathon…..half-way there!
We are the champions/We will rock you and Satisfaction
Pink Raise Your Glass,
Justin T- Can’t Stop The Feeling
Chubby Checker- The Twist
The Hollies- Bus Stop.
Katy Perry- Roar
Sharen
Roar is one of my faves to sing along too.
I Will Survive is my go-to karaoke song! The dance for Staying Alive will always rock! And Living On A Prayer....c"mon! That'll rule FOREVER ❤
Instead of Staying Aline, you can do CPR to Another One Bites the Dust. When I took the CPR class, the nurse told me never to sing that song again while giving CPR. LOL
I say for the BIGGER LIST; Eye of the tiger ( survivor ), Bohemian Rhapsody ( Queen), We are the champions (Queen), Dead Man's Party ( Oingo Boingo), Sledgehammer ( Peter Gabriel)
Okay, here is a short list:
"We Don't Talk About Bruno" - probably the only song where you can pick a part if the song and it works just as well when you blend it all together at the end.
"Take on Me" - everyone will try to hit a note in range
"Africa" - everyone loves the chorus by Toto
"We're Not Gonna Take It" - the anthem of a generation.
"Bad Romance" - Everyone joins in when you hear the opening.
Seriously, how could you NOT have included "American Pie" on this list??
Such a great song! A new list needs to be made!
All these songs are so great.
Piano man-billy Joel, pretty woman - Roy Orbison, crocodile rock- Elton John, joy to the world - three dog night,
Yup. So many songs will get people singing along ~ even ones we do not particularly like.
Lou Christie, ":Lightning Strikes Me Again" ~ can not believe I ever liked that song. Piped in music hear it often, do not sing it aloud, but can not stop singing along as lyrics play in my mind.
Speaking of Kenny Loggins, we gotta talk about "Danger Zone"
Anytime I hear it I go into full on belting mode 😂
Major Missing Songs:
Europe - Final Countdown
Queen - Who wants to live forever
Queen - Princes of the Universe
Additions for the TOP 5:
Queen - We Will Rock You
Queen - We Are the Champions
I'm sorry but "Life is a Highway" is a song originally written and sung by Canadian Tom Cochrane in 1991, years before Flatt's version and it's Cochrane's version that charted and is the version people 'sing along to'
You had me at Bon Jovi being #1
SAME!!! 😍😍😍
My number 1 would 100% be livin la vida loca by Ricky Martin. Heard it once, sing along everytime now
Nothing gonna stop us now by Starship and I've had the time of my life from Dirty Dancing
"Piano Man" -- Billy Joel
eight days a week, Lucy in the sky and Hey Jude are just a few of the Beatles songs that are great sing-a-long songs. That is what made them so popular. But for me personally there are many songs that I love to sing along to: two out of three aint bad, keep on loving you, fox on the run and so on.
It's impossible for me not to sing along with the following songs:
1: nothing's gonna stop us now by starship
2: blank space by Taylor swift
& 3: go your own way by Fleetwood Mac
By the way, it's not living on a prayer it's squidward on a chair lol
Never heard. GOLD😅
Take On Me should definitely be on this list.
NEVER heard that song called GOLD
And at the end of the "Call Me, Maybe" video, we learn that the guy may or may not, um... Never mind...
Certain parts of SW PA and WV have alternate lyrics for the chorus of "Sweet Caroline" - let's go, Pitt!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Central-eastern PA(aka Pennsyltucky) also shares those "alternate" chorus lyrics🤔😮😉
Joshua Kadison "Jessie", Cindy Lauper "Girls just wanne have fun", Plain white T's "Hey there Delilah", Extreme "More than Words"
